THE 1ARTHASV RECORD Vol. 69 MARTHASVILLE, WARREN COUNTY MISSOURI FRIDAY, JULY 5, 1957 No. 49 BEGINNING MADE ON MERGING CHURCHES Pattern Of Church Union Emerging From Synod Meeting The pattern of unification of two historic communions within the new United Church of Christ began to appear in the general synod before it adjourned in Cleveland last week. Two old denominations, with traditions reaching back to England and the European continent are involved, the Congregational Christian Churches and the Evangelical and Reformed. The task of bringing together these widely-differing groups was not easy; 17 years of negotiations and joint meetings were held before this uniting meeting could be called. The process of union is not exacted by the leaders to be completed at the local church level-that is, for all congregations-perhaps for a generation. The problems of bringing about union are national, re gional and local. Synod To Meet In 1959 The rencral synod of the United Church combines the old ' general council of the Congregational Christian Churches and the general synod of the E. & R. Church. A Hoard of Home Missions has been created and in 1958 both home mission boards of the two merged churches will enter the new agency. The boards of foreign mission.-, will be merged in October in one agency. Two national publications of the old denominations will be merged the Messenger, published in St. Louis, and Advance, publi. hed in New York. Visitors from other denominations at the general synod have remarket! on the total absence of theological differences. Thy ddd that this wna what made the union possible The synod appointed a commission to draw up a statement of faith to lie submitted to the next synod meeting and then to the congregations. Theological Explanation A top officer of the general synod put the theological agree ment this way: "The Congregational Christian churches, with their history of local self-trovernment, have al ways embraced the widest dif ferences in theological opinions, from extreme liberalism on the left to rigid conservation on the right. This is partly due to the fact that these churches include members from many religious backgrounds. "The Evangelical and Reformed Church was homogeneous. Up until World War 1 many of its local churches held sen' ices in the German language. Moreover, the church was never loosely organized like the old Congregational fellowship, but was held together by its sy nodical form of government."The United Church, therefore," this minister and theologian pointed out. "embraces wide differences of belief, but at the center of the spectrum, where most members are to be found, there is unity of faith. Most members of both old churches find their old spiritual home in the new church. This unity of evangelical belief is stated in a "message to the Churches" issued by the uniting general synods. Regarding church related colleges and theological seminaries, no early change is planned in their status. But the United Church will support campaigns for funds, which in the case of Congregational Christians was launched six months ago. Unification of churches at the local level will take time, and this has been admitted by leaders of loth groups from the moment their negotiations for union legan. Considerations of property and sentimental attachments enter into the picture and th jrneral ynod h.is given aHuranr that no presKure will be brought.

Their rate for Martha.-ville will be lower if Marthasville meets the requirements for Class 8 fire insurance rating. One of the requirements is that more men take interest in being firemen. Andy Halleman is president of the company and Frank Pohl, Jr. is tire chief. Other requirements listed in the report submitted by the engineer, E. Hill, who made the inspection are: 1. Enact and enforce a mod ern building code and fire pre vention ordinance. 2. Provide a hose drying rack at fire station. 3. Provide at least 1000 ft. of 2V2 in. double jacketed rubber lined fire hose and at least two shut-off nozzles with two 1 in. and two in. nozzle tips for the Chevrolet fire truck. 4. Discontinue use of the Chevrolet fire truck for response to out-of-town alarms, so it will be available at all times inside the city limits. 5. Since the fire department responds to out-of-town fires, the fire department organization should consist of a chief, assistant chief, two captains and eighteen firemen, making a total of 22 men. 6. Keep elevated tank well filled at all times. The local fire department has been working for some time to meet the requirments for Class 8 fire insurance rating. If it is attained, the modern building code will not effect the present buildings but will apply only to the new buildings which will be built in the future.

Their rate for Martha.-ville will be lower if Marthasville meets the requirements for Class 8 fire insurance rating. One of the requirements is that more men take interest in being firemen. Andy Halleman is president of the company and Frank Pohl, Jr. is tire chief. Other requirements listed in the report submitted by the engineer, E. Hill, who made the inspection are: 1. Enact and enforce a mod ern building code and fire pre vention ordinance. 2. Provide a hose drying rack at fire station. 3. Provide at least 1000 ft. of 2V2 in. double jacketed rubber lined fire hose and at least two shut-off nozzles with two 1 in. and two in. nozzle tips for the Chevrolet fire truck. 4. Discontinue use of the Chevrolet fire truck for response to out-of-town alarms, so it will be available at all times inside the city limits. 5. Since the fire department responds to out-of-town fires, the fire department organization should consist of a chief, assistant chief, two captains and eighteen firemen, making a total of 22 men. 6. Keep elevated tank well filled at all times. The local fire department has been working for some time to meet the requirments for Class 8 fire insurance rating. If it is attained, the modern building code will not effect the present buildings but will apply only to the new buildings which will be built in the future.
